Some of the Big 12's More Underrated Recruits

TCU commit Nick Foster (h/t Scout.com)
So far, I've done scouting reports on 16 prospects committed to Big 12 programs.  As the title suggests, below are some of the more undderrated recruits that I've had the chance to scout.  For a more detailed scouting report, click on the prospects' name.

Chris Platt, WR, Baylor:  Platt is a speedster, winning his third straight 400m state championship earlier this month.  Along with his speed, Platt also shows on video that he can also play physical especially when blocking downfield.  Platt may not be as talented as other Baylor receivers, but he's a nice, well-rounded addition to the 2014 class.

Nick Foster, CB, TCU:  In his scouting report, I talk about Foster's measurables being similar to Tony Brown's, who is a 5-star recruit.  However, TCU is the only program to have offered Foster, but Tony Brown is perhaps the most highly-recruited corner in this year's class.  Foster possesses good hip movement, making him a shutdown corner with Fossil Ridge.

Dalvin Warmack, RB, Kansas State:  Warmack is a 4-star recruit according to 247Sports, so why is he on this list?  Well, because I feel awful that he's at the bottom of the running back rankings (which haven't been updated in a while).  He rushed for almost 40 touchdowns last year on his way to being named Gatorade Missouri Player of the Year.

Victor Holmes, CB, Iowa State:  Holmes does a lot for La Porte, being recruited for his defense and playing multiple positions on offense including QB.  He's got sub 4.5 speed and is a great tackler and there's no way he isn't at least a 3-star prospect.
